What kind of gas do you put into your Camaro?
I have a 2LT and I put 87 octane in mine and get good gas mileage but I was curious to what everyone else puts in theirs.

nothing but sunoco 93 for my 2ss, firm believer in using the same gas all the time if possible, when i had my hemi truck it used 89 octane and guys on the mopar site would complain about the .10 more for 89 compared to 87multiply .10 cents x 26 gallons 2.60 a tank never understood their thinking,now i got a 43k(msrp) car that requires 91 octane and only a 18 gallon tank do the math if i couldn't afford a couple extra of bucks for good gas i shouldn't have bought the car

I run 89 octane in mine. Occasionally top it off with 93 when it's about a quarter down.
Runs much better than on 87.

87...I want to put in 93, but I just don't have it in me when I see the price of it.

92 Octane is our "Premium unleaded" around here.. So that's what I run with.

Shell V-Power. It claims to have the most cleaning agents and the exhaust does smell the cleanest with it.

89 octane, unless I'm feeling generous to the Gas Gods, then I use 92/93, but don't see any differences between the two as far as MPG's.
